On The Road With U2

U2 fans are the most dedicated fans around the world. Over the next few days we are going to introduce you to an author that that truly defines the word fan.  Deena Dietrich has been a U2 fan for almost 30 years, starting with The Joshua Tree. She works as a Social Media Manager, Blogger and now Author.

Deena pursues her passions at all costs quoting "It is better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't.". When I first met Deena she was letting me know that she was about to embark on this massive under taking of following U2 across the U.S. with her dogs Elvis and Cilla. This trip was self funded. Deena saved her money and planned her trip out looking for pet friendly hotels and meeting up with other fans. 

I am sure you will enjoy this book as I have and who knows you may even have a new U2 fellow friend as you head out this summer to the show.

Songs Of Experience 18 Months Away Plus or Minus

Today FM's The Mix Up show featured an interview with The Edge where he outlines the work flow process.  Currently the band has been focused on rehearsals for the up coming tour. While they are focused on the tour they have set aside time to push the next album out.

Finishing date are fluid, its hard to predict. They refuse to rush the process and the label of course will not force them to throw out another album before its completely ready.

The band has never released a "rushed" product and at this point why start now.  The Edge said "We don't want to release anything that we haven't had a chance to really finish to our satisfaction."
